I feel like i have figured it out, so i am going to lay down a few thoughts and just hope they make sense. <br \/>Most people lie about how much they read. I have to admit that there are times i act like i have read a book cover to cover when in reality i have not. However, reading is something that i have to do (And Have Come to Love). It is next to impossible to be faithful to teaching the Bible and not be a reader. What i am saying is, that most people read very little. People who read very little are apt to only read the &#8220;Popular at the Time book&#8221; and think they have read the best book ever. Its funny how everyone has a book for me to read! Its not that &#8220;That&#8221; book is any good at all its just the only book that person has read cover to cover, so obviously its revolutionary.<br \/>To the person who only reads 1 or so books a year, make sure you don&#8217;t read horrible books! If it is a book that claims to have some &#8220;New&#8221; idea or concept when if comes to the Scriptures or Church, it probably is not a good book. If read only a little make sure what you read counts! I&#8217;m tired of people suggesting ridiculous and sucky books. If you want some suggestions send me a message ill give you some ideas of books that are good!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately i have wondered how it is that crapy books get such high reviews on Amazon.
